MSI Z68MA-G45 wont boot.

I recently built my computer a few months ago and it was working great but now when i turn it on theres no video display no beeps no anything. Sometimes when i click the power button it wouldnt even turn on the first time and have to click it a few times before it can even boot up. When i click the reset or restart button i hear 3 short beeps and the computer shuts off and on. I moved the ram stick from all four slots and nothing worked. Do i need to get RMA'd I have a 3 year warranty. I took it to a frys shop for them to build it and its been working great. I dont know what happened. I night before I changed the switch on the power supply to turn it off but it was still on then i removed the power cable and it finally shut off. I had the computer put to sleep mode. I dont understand what happened.
Specs
MSI-Z68MA-G45 B3
i5 2500 (Non K)
Super Talent 4GB DDR3 RAM
GTX 560 Ti
LEPA 500W Power Supply
Maxxor 120GB SATA HDD

I cleared the CMOS and it worked but all my bios settings are messed up back to default and some of them are different then the default when i actually first set it up. Will it be safe to still change it?BTW thanks for the help I really appreciate it.

  • MSI Z68MA-G45 (B3) Crash Issue

    Hello,
    I recently bought a brand new MSI Z68MA-G45 (B3) motherboard along with the following items:
    CORSAIR Vengeance 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR3 RAM
    Noctua DH-N14 Heatsink
    850 Watt Viotek Pro PSU
    Quad Core i7 2600k Processor
    (if i need more specs added, please let me know.)
    I have not yet added a graphics card into this rig but I plan to add a Radeon HD 6970 soon. I can not accurately determine if my problems are with the motherboard or the processor, but I randomly get system crashes. They seem random, no matter how hard I try to pinpoint their origin. I could be on netflix, playing a game, talking on skype, or just sitting idle. I am currently running at 4.0Ghz overclock, (was 4.5, lowered to see if that was the problem) which I setup when looking at a guide on this website. All my core temps are averaged around 30, so I do not think that is the problem either. When it does happen, the screen becomes fuzzy and freezes, and I hear a low buzz from my computer (or speakers?). If anyone could help me troubleshoot this issue, I would really appreciate it.
    Thanks,
    Michael

    It is disabled and set to 1600 MHz (correct).
    XMP is disabled and its set to 1600 ?  Did you set it manually to 1600 ?  These modules default to 1333 if XMP is disabled.
    Only add one RAM module. Then do a CMOS clear and remove the CMOS battery. >>Clear CMOS Guide<<  And forget OC'ing for now.
    Now restart and cycle through one OS boot.
    Shut down and add the second module, and so on. Check if you are able to add all 4 modules sequentially without changing the default memory settings.
    Lets try and establish if your system will run at stock with 4 modules for now.

  • Z68MA-G45 (B3) Boot cycle

    So i bought a brand new config and it seems my motherboard is broken (it works for 4 seconds then stops for 10 and cycles that way forever)
    My config:
    MSI Z68MA-G45 (B3) Motherboard
    PNY Nvidia GTX 560 Ti GPU
    Intel Core i5 2450P CPU
    Akasa venom power 750W PSU
    G-Skill Ripjaws 2*4Gb 12800 RAM
    Advance Kappa Box
    No OS (MB never worked)
    Razer mouse and keyboard (probably irrelevant)
    I tried almost everything, did a CMOS reset, tried with only one stick of RAM, re-mount everything again just in case, nothing worked, it's always stuck in a boot loop so i'm in desperate need of a solution here.
    I looked a bit on the forums here and on the internet but didn't found anything useful so far.
    Thank you for any help you will provide,
    Elril

     The vendor is not going to know what BIOS is on the MB without opening the box and looking at the BIOS chip himself, that's not something that's normally done. The CPU is supported with the proper BIOS so under normal circumstances he wouldn't know about the BIOS one way or the other, all he's going to do is pull the box off a shelf and sell it. The MBs don't all have the same BIOS anyway as the later they come from the factory the later BIOS will be on it.
     You can do as HU16E said or buy a Celeron G440 (about $40-$45 USD) and use it to run the system to flash the BIOS yourself.
     You can download the BIOS from the same place as in the CPU support link in Ron's reply.

    have you done >>Clear CMOS Guide<< with power cord removed?

  • 770-g45 wont boot

    L.S.
    Just recently bought me a new system, based on the 770-g45, phenom II x2 555 black edition and 2x 1Gig Kingston Hyper X DDR3 @ 1800. The bastard won`t boot. It keeps telling me that the cmos settings are wrong and jumps to a black screen with a blinking underscore. It does still respond to a cntrl+alt+delete, so it didnt freeze.. And the bios is actually telling me the proc is a phenom II x4 B55 instead of what the actual package tells me..and what i supposed to have ordered.
    Have tried pretty much everything i can come up with. Already bought a Transcend DDR3 2gig 1333 module for testing purposes. MAinly tried setting the latency timers and voltage control. Rather reluctant though to increase ram voltage to over 1.9V. It just keep throwing me the same black screen.
    By the way, i did see, while building, that the mainboard had a little bend at the side of the com port, didnt look that severe at first...
    Anybody?
    edit: already flashed the bios to the V10.5
    Thanks,
    Dennis

  • New Z87-G45 wont boot to windows - restart loop

    I purchased a new MSI Z87-G45 Mobo and i5 4440 and now I cant boot into windows.
    It was blue screening but now it just gets to windows load screen for a second and then restarts.
    I have an older sata HDD would that be the issue?
    I was able to install windows on a new SSD and it boots and works fine so its obviously something to do with the older HDD.

    you can't boot from older OS installation on new different mobo

  • MSI P67A-G45 (B3) boot/loop

    Hi, just got all components for my pc and i installed everything. My problem is wheni press the power switch, everything starts fine and the fans spin up and the LED's on the board are fine but after 4-5sec it shuts itself off and tries the exact same process again. To troubleshoot i removed RAM, Video card, HD... just have CPU, cpu fan but still getting same issue..
    Here is the list of the components i have..
    Intel Core i5 2500K Quad Core Unlocked Processor LGA1155 3.3GHZ Sandy Bridge 6MB
    MSI P67A-G45 (B3) P67 ATX LGA1155 DDR3 2PCI-E16 3PCI-E 2PCI SLI CrossFireX SATA3 USB3 Motherboard

    Corsair Professional HX650W 650W ATX 12V 52A 24PIN ATX Modular Power Supply Active PFC 120MM Fan
    Sapphire Radeon Xtreme HD 5830 800MHZ 1GB 4GHZ GDDR5 PCI-E DVI HDMI Mini DisplayPort Video Card
    here is a video i found... its similar to my problem

    Straight power loop? Can't even get to BIOS?  if so could try resetting the CMOS, also try a different DIMM and/or GPU (even keyboard, had a couple post where the power loop ceased after unplugging the keyboard) and possibly best try a different higher powered PSU...if you can get into BIOS raising the vCore can help eliminate the loop problem, but still indicates something is wrong if it takes to much vCore for successful boot, with a 2500k should be able to boot and run stock at 1.19-1.21 for 3.3GHz

  • MSI Z77A-G45 not booting

    Hey,
    I just built my PC and with the test build everything did it alright, but now when I have it installed in my case it wont boot up. It will only show a little stripe in the upper left corner and it will show 99 all down in the right corner. All the fans are spinning and all the buttons from the case are working. The 4 little blue lights in the upper right corner in the board are on. My specs: i5 3570K, Corsair Vengeance PC14900 CL9, MSI GTX 660 ti, Gelid Solutions Tranquillo rev. 2. Please help me!

    Quote
    Now it just shows the same as before, 99 in the bottom right corner and a stripe in the upper left corner. It wont show that you can acces the BIOS by pressing Delete. When I tested it out of the case it was going on and of (see my last post) But the with the "test build" everything worked. Maybe the motherboard was damaged when I was putting it in the case.
    If I am understanding correctly, it is working out of the case but not installed. Sound like you have an extra stand-off installed in the case causing a short.

  • MSI 990FXA - GD80 Wont Boot.

    Hi,
    My GD80 board wont boot past code 99, it was fine yesterday but now wont do anything.
    It comes up with a list of the HDD devices, and any optical drives, the unganged status of the ram, and says press F1 to setup or F2 to continue. I have tried different keyboards(several), different mice/no mouse connected, also 1 single stick of ram instead of the 4x4gig corsair. In fact, all of the usual stuff for trouble shooting. this is a premium board, I find it hard to believe this cannot be fixed somehow.
    Any help appreciated.
    thanks.

    The problem is the same as the screenie above. I know that the board in the picture is a GD65, however other than the board version, everything else is the same. I pressed F1, just hangs with prompt entering Setup...... if i press F2 it just sits there doing nothing.

  • Z77MA-G45 wont boot up new system

    dear folks,
    I just built my PC and with the test build everything did it alright, but now when I have it installed in my case it wont boot up.
    Everytime i boot you will see in the down right corner B4 / 99 / A2 then it gonna reboot. Ive tried with 1 ram in all the 4 slots but still got the same problem.
    Theres no troubleshoot on the website so i cant check out what A2 means. Please help me 

    that is weird! starting to look like the board is faulty!
    a thew other thing you could give a go : do a CMOS clear >>Clear CMOS Guide<< and plug unplug the PSU and hold the power button in for 30 seconds with the power switch turned on at the back of your PSU!

  • MSI KT6 Delta wont boot

    My MSI KT6 Delta system no longer boots any further than the memory test? why? any ideas? any solutions other than replacing the motherboard etc.
    some background:
    motherboard: MSI KT6 Delta
    CPU: AMD Athlon XP 2800
    Memory: 1Gb branded
    Graphics: Geforce FX 5200 AGP
    PSU: Antec TrueBlue 480
    Screen displays the memory test then a message relating to BIOS setup i.e. "Del: BIOS Setup" plus a new option i dont remember seeing previously namely "F10: Flash recovery" btw pressing 'del' doesn't help you cant get into the BIOS setup.  Having cleared the CMOS via JBAT1 i now just get the MSI Welcome screen.  If it helps the D-Bracket displays a red led top left.
    its all a bit odd really, everything was fine on Friday night, but come Saturday morning its all gone pear shaped.
    any help appreciate

    OK. Well, the procesor is where I'd start troubleshooting.
    Step one would be to unplug power cable and other cables on the back of the computer, wait a while ( you'll hear a faint zzipp  ), and then move JBAT jumper in order to clear CMOS. That will force you into BIOS.
    Eh, thought of something. BIOS will stop sometimes if it can't find a keyboard. And you say entering BIOS is impossible. Perhaps you have more than one problem? a) processor's BIOS settings are impossible, b) the keyboard hinders you from entering BIOS. However, the CMOS clearing should in either case be a good start.
    Your problem very much reminds of what happened to me and others while playing with CoreCenter. I know you didn't but can't help saying so.

  • Msi z87 g45 infinite boot loop

    Hey everyone, i just purchases all my new components including msi's z87 g45 motherboard. When trying to start the computer it turns on one second and then off again, and that goes on until i turn off the psu. I tried a lot of things like different RAM sticks and different dimms, and even with only the cpu and psu attached to the motherboard it still does the same:( Now ive read a lot of things, but at another forum i read that the i5 4670k is only supported by a bios v1.1 My g45 motherboard says it has v1.0... So cud that be the problem or shud that not matter? suggestions please :(
    My system:
    i5 4670k
    z87 g45
    xfx pro 650w
    crucial ballistix 2x4gb
    msi gtx 770 lightning

    Clarify what board you have. Is it Z87-G45 GAMING? If so it lists 1.1 is required indeed. None the less it has been released with Haswell and the first release Haswell cpus (like 4670k) should be supported with any bios out of the box (even 1.0). I doubt that bios version could be the problem as it would be impossible to flash then as there is not even any older cpu that is officially supported with 1.0.
    Try reseating cpu and check socket for bent pins. Also try running board outside case with just basic components.

  • Help MSI KT8 NEO WONT BOOT

    I just built a new system, first i ran it baone ,only
    A64 3200+ and MOBO kt8 neo fis2r
    everything turned on and fan's working.. then i plugged in memory and vid card.. get into the early bios but some error message came in i forgot but it sounds like gigabit ethernet controller something, i tried to unplug memory then replug it..  suddenly the system turned on and nothing on the screen.. then the system just turned off... , i tried to turn it on , but it just work for 1 seconds then it's turned off by itself...
    then I tried to look at processor, wondering did it burn.. i opened the hsf and fan.. then wiped off the ceramique thermal compound, to see any burn marks or smell for any burns.. but nothing.. it was clear.. i put another thermal compound, re attached hsf, put into case.. but now the system only booted for 1 second (the fans and leds etc).. then turned off by itself...  i still tried this barebone..
    could this be mobo or processor defect symptoms ??? My finger points to PSU rite now... dont laugh but my PSU is terrible... the +12v is 13Amps.. the others are on 20s and 30s Amps... I already ordered a new enermax 465 , but I just want to be sure from the symptom that it's not the mobo or processor.. cos if it is, i want to RMA it ASAP...
    before this I tried an ASUS K8V, i could get into bios but the mobo didn't recognize the optical and hard drives.. the drives didn't power up at all if the IDE cables were attached...but when the cables were unplug and the drives was connected to the molex cable, the drives would work and spinned...quite weird, but it might be 12v power shortage... but just want to make sure if it is faulty PSU... but wont be getting it until tuesday/wednesday... meanwhile i want to RMA the mobo or processor if they're broken...
    any help is greatly appreciated... thank you !

    even with mobo and processor only... shouldn't the system just run ok ? i mean the fans will turned on, psu fan will works... my biggest suspicion is that the main power from PSU is not getting anything from the mobo and the other fans works because they were connected from 12v, if i plug a 80mm fan to the mobo, it doesn't work either...
    with old power supply, i was able to make the system runs with only mobo and processor... they just lit up and works.. but nothing happens tho,just fancy fans and lights.. but at least the psu fans worked.. but then the psu overloaded, i changed with enermax and the PSU fan doesnt even worked if plugged into motherboard
     when i tried to use a PSU tester, it was all great, fans working, green light, but when i plug PSU to the mobo, PSU fan doesn't turned on...
    could it be when the old PSU overloaded, it fried the mobo too ?? if so , what about the processor ??

  • MSI P55-GD65 Wont boot 2 sticks of ram

    This is my second board I had the first one RMA'd back to newegg. The first one upon receiving it worked just fine out of the box. 20 days later computer would not post with 2 separate pieces of ram installed. Both sticks were in the Black Slots. After taking out memory from Slot 3 Computer would now post and I could get into windows just fine. So I sent it back to newegg. Now after receiving a new board Same problem is occurring in this new board. Computer would post the first week with 2 sticks of memory, Now it wont post with both sticks installed. Took out memory from slot 3 it now posts. Anyone have this problem or can help me resolve this issue? Specs are located in signature. The socket on this board is a lotes socket.

    If XMP is enabled the CPU will get overclocked.
    Set CPU multiplier to 17 and not higher than 20 with Turbo Boost disabled.
    WOW!!! this worked my computer boots up and both sticks are in slots 1 and 3 What did this actually do? I set the CPU to 17 and disabled the turbo boost.
    Computer shows 4gb but (usable is 1.99gb) im running win 7 ult 32bit. Shouldnt useable be 3gb with 32 bit win 7?

  • MSI P55 BD80 wont boot stays of "FF" [SOLVED]

    Just bought a new system
    Specs:
    MSI P55 GD80 motherboard (brand new)
    Nvidia GTX 280 (from an old build)
    Intel Core i5 750 Quad Core Processor Lynnfield LGA1156 2.66GHZ (Brand new)
    G.SKILL F3-12800CL7D-4GBRH Ripjaws PC3-12800 4GB 2X2GB DDR3-1600 CL7-7-7-24 Core I5 Memory Kit (brand new)
    OCZ ModXStream Pro 700W ATX 20/24PIN PSU (brand new)
    500 gig Western Digital Harddrive.
    So my problem is everything spins up fine, the lights come on, but the error screen stays at FF. I've tried reseating the CPU, swapping ram sticks, tried every single ram slot to no avail. Any suggestions?

     Did you check the grounding fingers/tabs on the I/O plate to see if the problem might be a short there? If it works okay outside the case I would suspect a problem there if the MB mounting standoffs are all in their proper places lined up with MB screw holes.
